Size
Double pushchairs are typically larger than single ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies such as the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. This extra width enables them to take on heavier children without straining their chassis. Other features make them stand out: large pop-out canopy that have SPF 50 protection and peekaboo windows and swivel-lock front wheels that aid in maneuvering tight spaces like shopping aisles as well as a cup holder that can be used by one parent and a smart fold mechanism that is one-handed. The 10-inch wheels aren't built for rough terrain, but they can handle city streets and theme park rides quite well.
